Yasiel Puig re-aggravated the oblique injury that sidelined him in July, which kept him out of Sunday’s series finale against Houston and raised the specter of possibly another stint on the disabled list.

“It’s still bothering him a little bit,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before the game. “You can see him wincing a little bit with some swings.”

Puig injured himself while swinging the bat on July 8. He missed three weeks. He returned July 28 and homered in his first game back. He has hit three home runs since his return, but is still dealing with symptoms.
